You are a rat. The house is a city, the pipes under it are your highways, and there is a cat who has never once caught you.
Living room, kitchen, utility room, bedroom, bathroom and hall, painted bright for kids: polka dots, stars, clouds, rainbows. Chairs are towers, the counter is a cliff, the stairs are a mountain.
Leap into the bowl, drop down the shaft and land in the pipe network under the house. A green pad at the bottom whooshes you back up and out when you want to go home.
Every room has a floor vent that drops into the pipes. Galvanised, copper, green, blue, rusty and black tunnels join four hubs, three cosy dens and the big rat lounge. Walk up any shaft: a rat climbs.
A sunken den under the house with a couch, a phone for a TV, a disco ball, a snack tray and a big scoreboard. Bring food home to score, and seventeen rat friends loaf and wander the tunnels with you.
He sleeps by the fire, prowls the ground floor and lurks at whichever vent you are under. Hold the left trigger and you are faster than he is. Bonk him with a ball, tug his tail, steal his kibble. He pounces, he misses, he hisses. Up on a chair you are out of reach.
Hold the left trigger to run at full tilt. Push into a wall, a chair or a pipe and climb it with the horizon level, the way a rat does.
Toss balls through the hoop on the far wall.
A wooden lane and six pins that reset themselves.
Pull the right trigger and flip the targets on their posts.
Moles pop out of the cabinet. Bonk them with a paw.
Stand on the pad and ride up to the ledge ring.
Nine light pads and a jukebox. Walk the sequence back in order.
Knock the pyramid of cans down with balls.
Climb the pole to the perch and ring the bell.
Time your dash past three swinging pendulums.
A tilted pipe water slide down to the pool.
Ring walls, one way in, cheese in the middle.
Climbing raises you straight up with the horizon level. The world never rotates under you.
45° snap turn, never smooth rotation.
Walk on the stick, hold the left trigger to scurry. Nothing moves you except the lift pads.
Remove the headset and the game freezes behind a calm black shell.
